Was you driving it and it just went dead or did you go to start it and it started doing this?

Possibly egr valve stuck open. If it sticks open it can cause this sort of issue.

From what I have found if yours has one it should be on the passenger side of the intake near firewall. I am finding mixed results tho. Some do have them and some don't. Dodge did some changes around that year model.

It should be right behind your last fuel injector on the passenger side of the intake. Right next to the firewall.

Also check for any loose vacuum lines or electrical connections. That might have got bumped loose while you were working on it.
